BS. Phishing schemes are a perfect example. They look *exactly* like
what a user is expecting; they are not stupid for recognizing something
familiar. If you want to stick with the automotive comparison, it would be
similar to having someone change the exit signs along the highway, and then
calling a person stupid because they followed the wrongly-labeled exit.
